"The smiles on their faces mean everything," Michelle Wright said. "If they are smiling, laughing, having a good time, then we're also hoping along the way they are learning from this as well."

Wright says they host a fun event each year to excited both students and teachers, and this year faculty invented the Golden Apple Awards.

"Award shows are very popular these days," Wright said. "Music of course is something kids and adults love, so we combined those two things together and came up with the Golden Apple Awards for this year."
